GIBSON GLEANINGs,

Our town Is very quiet since the
rain which fell Sunday night, as most
OF our people are energetic farmers.
they are putting forth every effort to
finish planting their crops; therefore
loafers are exceedingly scarce-not
enough to carry on the dollar pitch
ing scientifically.
There was considerable frost Tues
day morning, but don't think it did
much damage; at least we hope not.
The first straw berries of this season
were shipped from here the 10Th.
Will he shipping largely next week,
he farmers of this community are
investing extensively in the Rock City
Fertilizer, with the expectation OF
reaplug a large yield next fall. Trust
they Wi find il beneficial If so, it
will ,e more extensively used next
year.
We we're h0nored with nice con-

And the beautiful birds each with . sweet song.
W . had begun to feel alarmed Of late.
And feared a drOuth as in tho Texas state.
But we are now blessed with a good rainfall.
And now the corn and wheat will grow tall.
The farmers can now better till the soil
And he rewarded in the future COR their toll.
No d1nbt our gardens will be somewhat late.
Although we planted good Friday. the eighth
And for the rain We should be thankful indeed
For such blessing whom in great need.
From above the welcome raindrops are falling,
Sent bv Him who never fails to answer our
calling.
We should give him our praise day and night,
Because we know He does all things right.
He knows our needs much better than we can
tell
And He never fails to do all things we'll
And we should remember in our everyday trod
That our every blessing comes direct from G cd.
